Happy reading, folks. * Lorenzo Carcaterra, Nonna Maria and the Case of the Stolen Necklace (Bantam) “A streetwise Italian Miss Marple is a shrewd amateur sleuth in this atmospheric series installment.” –Library Journal Anders de la Motte, The Mountain King (Atria/Emily Bestler) “Superb…De la Motte nimbly juggles a substantial cast as his plot grows increasingly intricate, ratcheting suspense to near-unbearable heights. This crackerjack page-turner will keep readers up late. –Publishers Weekly Benjamin Stevenson, Everyone On This Train Is a Suspect (Mariner) “Stevenson’s brilliant and creative second closed-circle mystery toys with golden age mystery tropes while delivering its own hugely satisfying whodunit… This is another triumph from a gifted genre specialist… deliciously clever.” –Publishers Weekly Emily Ruth Verona, Midnight on Beacon Street (Harper Perennial) “Verona’s entertaining debut pays homage to classic horror movies with a 1990s-set whodunit about a New Jersey babysitter’s night from hell. . . . Horror fans will delight in [her heroine] Amy’s Scream-level genre literacy, and Verona maintains a brisk pace from start to finish. This giddy exercise in nostalgia pays off.” –Publishers Weekly Anastasia Hastings, Of Hoaxes and Homicide (Minotaur) “Told from multiple points of view, this historical mystery is firmly set in Victorian times and includes several plot twists.” –Booklist Ashley Tate, Twenty-Seven Minutes (Poisoned Pen Press) “A dark read, Twenty-Seven Minutes succeeds in a satisfying way.” –New York Journal of Books Christopher Golden, The House of Last Resort (St. Martin’s Press) “Golden evokes chills without relying on clichés and makes suspending disbelief easy through skillful characterizations of the leads. Horror fans should check this out.” –Publishers Weekly Suzie Miller, Prima Facie (Henry Holt) “Hits like a ton of bricks, evoking in full the physical and emotional horror of sexual assault and its lasting effects on the victim… A rawly moving debut filled with insights into the legal system and its shortcomings.” –Kirkus Reviews Andrea Tang, These Deadly Prophecies (G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Young Readers) “Wry humor, zippy pacing, and witty banter. Moments of keen character insight lend heft to this lively and madcap mystery.” –Publisher’s Weekly Zachary C.
